[Even If You're Tone-Deaf, It's Okay!] Easy Karaoke Songs for Men in Their 40s (71–80)

The White LoversKuwata Keisuke

As a solo artist, Keisuke Kuwata’s seventh single in total was released in October 2001.

It was used as the campaign song for Coca-Cola’s “No Reason” commercials, in which Kuwata himself appeared, as well as in Uniqlo’s “LifeWear/HEATTECH: Get Outside in Winter” commercials.

You could call this a staple of late 90s to early 2000s J-pop.

Many songs from this era are very easy to sing, and this ballad is no exception—it’s something anyone can enjoy singing casually.

Since the chorus jumps up in range all at once, I recommend singing it lightly to avoid forcing your voice.

River of TimeFENCE OF DEFENSE

fence of defense – Toki no Kawa (Mitsuteru Yokoyama’s Sangokushi OP1)
River of TimeFENCE OF DEFENSE

FENCE OF DEFENSE is a rock band that gained popularity for a musical style centered on genres like progressive rock and power pop.

They released many works incorporating techno-influenced sounds, and alongside groups like SOFT BALLET, they’re recognized as one of the quintessential edgy rock bands of the ’90s.

Their song Toki no Kawa (River of Time) is renowned as one of their masterpieces.

While its composition is somewhat unusual, the vocal range isn’t particularly wide and there are no abrupt key changes, so as long as you learn the vocal line well, most people should be able to reproduce it to a fair degree.

DOES – BakuChi Dancer / THE FIRST TAKE
Bacchi DancerDOES

DOES is a rock band that’s extremely popular with male listeners.

Many people may have come to like them through the anime Gintama.

Among DOES’s songs, one I especially recommend is Bakuchi Dancer.

It’s a sharp, punchy rock track, but the vocal range is very compact at mid1D to mid2E.

Plus, the singing style is mainly a spit-it-out delivery, so it doesn’t require delicate vocals and is exceptionally easy to sing.

I looked up at the sky.Kinashi Noritake, Hiromi, Tokoro George

Composed by George Tokoro as the theme song for the travel variety show “Noritake, Fumiya, and Hiromi Go! Camping Car Training Camp—A Journey of Encounters, Connections, and Happiness,” starring Noritake Kinashi, Fumiya Fujii, and George Tokoro and broadcast irregularly on the Fuji TV network from 2015 to 2016 and again in 2023, the track was released in December 2023.

It’s a mid-tempo piece with a warm, laid-back vibe, and its melodic range is comfortably singable for most men, making it a great recommendation even for those who don’t usually sing.

Just like in the original, it’s even more fun when sung together with a few friends in chorus!

Words of FarewellKaientai

Farewell Words — Kaientai — Solo acoustic (singer-songwriter) performance
Words of FarewellKaientai

This was Kaientai’s 16th single, released in November 1979.

It might be easier to say it was the theme song for the first season of the hugely popular school drama “Mr.

Kinpachi in Class 3B,” starring Tetsuya Takeda of Kaientai (haha).

People in their 40s as of 2019 may have just missed the drama when it originally aired, but since the song became a Showa-era graduation standard, many of you likely sang it at your own ceremonies.

It’s unclear whether it was intentionally written with graduation ceremonies in mind, but it has a very straightforward melody, rhythm, and phrasing that make it extremely easy to sing as a choral piece—so even those who struggle with modern songs that have complex structures and melodies should be able to sing it comfortably.

This was Koji Kikkawa’s debut single, released in February 1984.

If you’re in your 40s, many of you probably remember his striking debut in real time.

With a simple, straightforward, and catchy chorus that repeats the title, the song is crafted very much by the book for a hit.

It’s easy for anyone to sing and great for livening up the crowd, making it a pretty excellent choice for karaoke.

If you throw in some of the kind of moves Kikkawa did back then while you sing, it might go over even better (lol).

In the night sky after the rainRC sakuseshon

Sung by Kiyoshiro Imawano, often hailed as Japan’s King of Rock, this track is one of RC Succession’s signature songs, bursting with a sense of speed.

It’s a perfect classic for shaking off everyday hassles and bad moods, lifting your spirits no matter what.

Instead of stiffening up and trying to sing it perfectly, it’s a song that suits belting it out with full-on energy, so even those who aren’t confident singers may find it easy to try.

If you shout it out, you’ll feel totally refreshed and exhilarated.
